There's quite a concentration of acting royalty in the Bahamas, and we can add Tyler Perry's name to that list. Who would have thought that a man best known for playing a senior woman would work his way up to an $800m fortune? Not only that, but his White Bay Cay is believed to be the most expensive of all the islands in the region. We're unable to confirm that, because the purchase price has never been publicly listed.
Unlike many of his peers, who seek to turn their islands into luxury resorts, it would seem that Perry plans to live on his. Work is underway on a palatial home, bungalows for guests, a full-sized tennis court and a marina. When you factor in all the essentials that have to be installed on a previously-untouched piece of land, such as electricity, water, and internet connectivity, the construction work can sometimes exceed even the cost of the land. It's a good job Perry has deep pockets!
